I. CRP PERFORMANCE MONITORING REPORT FOR JULY-DECEMBER 2012

A. Key Messages

This report covers the initial six months of the CGIAR Research Program on Dryland Cereals (referred to hereafter simply as DrylandCereals), that is, 1 July through 31 December 2012.

The year 2012 was rich with R4D (research-for-development) progress in initiatives that migrated into the new CGIAR Research Program on DrylandCereals on 1 July. Highlights include increased momentum for hybrid sorghum in West and Central Africa, offering potential 35% yield gains; demonstrably strengthened national seed systems increasing the sustainable out-scaling of impacts from crop improvement; crucial support to the new nation of the Republic of Southern Sudan; rapid takeoff of finger millet breeding, including two new varietal releases; breeding and crop management progress on difficult stresses such as drought, Striga and low soil phosphorus in all four cereals; the increasingly effective use of molecular methods in plant breeding, with notably larger roles played by strengthened national partners; and 40% yield gains for 25,000 farmers growing post-rainy season sorghum in Maharashtra, India.

The seven new CGIAR-approved crop x region Product Lines of DrylandCereals are used as the reporting framework for R4D activities in the remainder of this Report. Elaborating on just two of these noteworthy successes (others are elaborated in subsequent sections):

Product Line 1 - Sorghum in West Africa: Farmer-to-farmer training for Striga control in the Sahel: Striga is a parasitic weed that causes large yield losses in sorghum and millet grown on low-fertility soils, especially those cultivated by poor smallholders who cannot afford much (if any) fertilizer. DVDs illustrating methods of managing Striga in eight West/Central African languages were produced and released for dissemination during the review period, targeting 200,000 farmers in Niger, Nigeria, Ghana and Mali. The videos are being disseminated through Farmers’ Field Schools, rural radio stations, farmers’ organizations, training institutes, and mobile digital cinema among others. Video viewings at night permit the participation of women and children so that entire villages are empowered. Three levels of distribution of the DVDs are being monitored for impact assessment.

Product Line 7 - Post-rainy season sorghum in South Asia – major yield and income gains: As a result of close partnership between ICRISAT and several Indian state and national institutions, some 25,000 farmers cultivating post-rainy season sorghum in India’s western state of Maharashtra are benefiting from the adoption of integrated options of improved varieties and management practices. Half of these farmers operate on landholdings of two hectares or less. Average grain yields have increased by 40% and fodder yields by 20% since 2010. Net farm income increased by US$78 per hectare of sorghum grown.

A major purpose of forming CGIAR Research Programs is to enhance synergies across crops and partner institutions. DrylandCereals approaches this objective through knowledge-sharing among five cross-cutting Strategic Components. For example, seed systems are a common constraint across all the dryland cereal crops. Overcoming high costs of improved seed through the dissemination of small packs in sorghum and pearl millet is one of many examples of cross-crop knowledge sharing. Similarly, cross-learning in data targeting, molecular breeding, crop physiology (e.g. 1, 2), gender issues and post-harvest value addition are underway or being planned.

Moving from R4D to the establishment of essential management, governance and operational functions of the new DrylandCereals Program:

Partner consultations, proposal revision and approval. Consultation, shared understanding and commitment were viewed as essential for effectively aligning and integrating the R4D agendas of partners into DrylandCereals. Consultations conducted during the reporting period must be seen as a continuation of the prior two years of intensive consultation and planning carried out in the development of the previous four revisions of the DrylandCereals proposal. A meeting of all key stakeholders (CGIAR and non-CGIAR) was conducted during 23-26 April 2012 to discuss the revisions of the fourth draft requested by ISPC in February. Another two rounds of revision-consultation followed, including another meeting of key stakeholders during 19-22 July. The fifth and final revision of the Program proposal was completed during July-August 2012 and was submitted on 15 August 2012 to the CGIAR Consortium Office. The Fund Council approved the comprehensive 185-page proposal on 16 October 2012.

Recruiting management, staff and governance positions. The recruitment of a Director was initiated in mid-2012 but could not be completed during the period due to the deferred final approval and funding of DrylandCereals. Appointments to the three oversight committees (Steering Committee, Independent Advisory Committee, and Research Management Committee) were initiated in late 2012 following the approval in October, and will be finalized in early 2013.

Financial summary: total expenditure, percentage allocated to gender research and total funding (from all sources, including bilateral and window 3) compared to expected budget

Total budget projected for the period was under-spent by 40% due to two main factors.

i) Uncertainty about Program status and funding prior to its formal approval on October 16 necessitated a conservative spending posture prior to that date, including the deferral of long-term commitments such as the hiring of personnel.

ii) Violent conflict in ICARDA’s host country Syria disrupted numerous planned activities, as did conflict in Mali for ICRISAT. Movements in-country and the participation of national partner institutions in joint activities were severely affected.

B. Impact Pathway and Intermediate Development Outcomes (IDOs)

DrylandCereals is in the process of developing its CRP-specific Intermediate Development Outcomes following the guidelines provided by the Consortium. These will build on the impact pathways and partnerships articulated in the proposal.

C. Progress along the Impact Pathway

C.1 Narrative of major achievements, by Theme

Product Line 1 – Sorghum for West Africa

West and Central Africa now have the R4D elements in place needed to support a hybrid sorghum industry. New photoperiod-sensitive guinea-race hybrids were grown by approximately 10,000 farmers during the 2012 cropping season. The on-farm results confirm a remarkable 35% increase in grain yield under a wide range of growing conditions. Positive feedback has been received from

Page 4: CGIAR Research Program on Dryland Cereals

CGIAR Research P rogram on Dryland Cereals – Ju ly -Decemb er 2012 Annual Repor t Page | 3

farmers on productivity and grain quality. A rural radio campaign attracted much interest. Efforts are underway to strengthen national capacities for producing the hybrid seed. Hybrid seed production doubled from 2011, to 20 tons in 2012. A hybrid seed production manual plus specific protocols for the seven preferred hybrids has been distributed through training programs for farmer-seed producers. Dissemination of hybrid seeds in affordable small packs is very effective in increasing their uptake.

Low available phosphorus (P) is a major and widespread constraint to productivity in the region, but field screening for P efficiency is difficult. A five-year study of breeding methods for this trait in sorghum was completed in 2012. Direct selection for grain yield under low phosphorus conditions was 12% more efficient than indirect selection under high phosphorus conditions. The results attracted much interest and were published in Crop Science Journal and highlighted in the November issue of Crops, Soils and Agronomy (CSA) News.

Progress in the dissemination of Striga management techniques to 200,000 Sahelian sorghum farmers was described earlier.

Product Line 2 – Pearl millet for West and East Africa

Progress in seed systems development in Niger has enabled about 10% of annual demand for certified seed of pearl millet be met. Incentivized by the availability of improved varieties from DrylandCereals as well as outreach and training activities, several private seed companies have become established that are able to multiply both breeder and foundation classes of seed in large quantities. Several farmer unions have improved member’s seed production skills to a level that meets certification standards for large-scale seed production and have earned the confidence of seed buyers in their local areas.

Product Line 3 – Sorghum for East Africa

Four high-yielding, high-quality sorghum varieties resistant to the parasitic weed Striga and tolerant to drought were released in Sudan. The achievement was the result of partnership with DrylandCereals using modern molecular breeding techniques. The varieties were bred by the national program ARC through marker-assisted backcrossing of Striga-resistant lines supplied by DrylandCereals.

The sorghum variety KARI Mtama-1 was released in Tanzania, in the Republic of Southern Sudan, and in Kenya, exhibiting as much as 30% grain yield advantage over previously available varieties in marginal areas. As the first release of a sorghum variety in the Republic of Southern Sudan, this is an important milestone as the new country aspires to replace its former dependency on emergency relief seed with its own varietal releases. In Tanzania, this is the first sorghum variety released since 2004.

Product Line 4 – Finger millet for East and Southern Africa

Tanzania released its first two finger millet varieties ever, U15 and P224. The varieties had earlier been released in Uganda and Kenya. They are widely adapted, high-yielding and produce high-quality grain. Additional finger millet germplasm was screened and resistance identified for blast disease (76 lines) and Striga (14 lines). These will be further tested and the best lines will be utilized as parents in finger millet breeding.

Finger millet germplasm was profiled for nutrients; accessions with much higher micronutrient content were identified. KNE 628 grain contains 300 ppm of iron and 17 ppm of zinc, compared to the current varietal average of 78 ppm iron and 12 ppm zinc.

Fertilizer micro-dosing was tested on finger millet. Micro-dosing at a rate of 20 kg nitrogen per hectare increased grain yields by 20-40% and has been recommended to farmers.

Product Line 5 – Barley for Africa and Asia

A low-input feed barley nursery (110 lines) was assembled and evaluated for drought tolerance at Marchouch station, Morocco under just 196 mm of rainfall this season. Thirty-eight lines exhibited significantly higher grain and straw yield and will be further tested and promoted in North Africa. In addition, 331 advanced lines of naked barley were tested for adaptation and drought tolerance; 93 were selected for yield evaluation and seed increase for further testing by collaborators in the region. A total of 101 advanced lines of naked barley with improved drought, pest and disease tolerance and superior agronomic traits have now been identified and made available for testing by collaborators globally.

Product Line 6 – Pearl millet for East Africa and South Asia

Farmer-preferred hybrids of pearl millet were identified for the Indian States of Rajasthan, Haryana and Gujarat through large-scale trials conducted in farmer’s fields in drought-prone environments. The seed production of identified hybrids was conducted through a partnership with the private sector (HOPE Project Year 3 Annual Report). A popular hybrid was improved for foliar blast resistance and quality of grain and stover by transferring a major blast resistance gene complex (quantitative trait loci, or QTL) through marker-assisted breeding. Genetic variants of pearl millet were identified with capacity to restrict water losses under high vapor pressure deficit conditions. QTLs for different water use traits were identified, including some that were found to be co-located with a yield-enhancing terminal drought tolerance QTL.

Product Line 7 – Sorghum for South Asia

As highlighted earlier, interventions substantially increased grain and fodder yields for more than 25,000 post-rainy season sorghum farmers in Maharashtra, India. A genetic modification technique, Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation, was optimized for sorghum. Mechanisms conveying high transpiration efficiency have been discovered, allowing a more targeted cultivar improvement (ICRISAT ACIAR Reports 2012). Breeding strategies for high iron and zinc content in grain were improved. Genetic diversity of breeding materials was enhanced for breeding sweet sorghum and high-biomass sorghum. A Genotyping-By-Sequencing pipeline for breeding is now operational at ICRISAT.

C.2 Progress towards outputs

Product Line 1 – Sorghum for West Africa

Hybrid sorghum holds enormous potential for West and Central Africa. ICRISAT, IER and CIRAD finalized the development of improved hybrid guinea sorghum lines from 29 diverse donor parents, using three elite lines as recurrent parents: Lata-3 the best guinea-race pollinator at ICRISAT, Grinkan, and Keninkeni - two recently improved varieties developed by national partner IER. Lines are being selected in both normal and low-phosphorus conditions.

A database of farmer-managed yield trials of newly released sorghum varieties and hybrids and agronomic practices for growing them is being updated annually, and is being formatted by aWhere to provide world-class public accessibility over the internet.

A series of on-farm trials conducted by women in their own fields is revealing that high iron and zinc content sorghum varieties are also well adapted to low fertility conditions. The effect of wood ash on grain productivity (30%) is consistent, confirming the extremely poor fertility situation in these fields.

Product Line 2 – Pearl millet for West and East Africa

National breeding programs in Mali, Burkina Faso and Nigeria have completed 1-2 cycles of progeny based recurrent selection in diversified populations, based on local germplasm, with introgressions

Page 6: CGIAR Research Program on Dryland Cereals

CGIAR Research P rogram on Dryland Cereals – Ju ly -Decemb er 2012 Annual Repor t Page | 5

of genetic material from other West-African countries. The most commonly used type of progeny were full-sib progenies, which allow for short breeding cycles.

Two varieties (GB 8735 and Tabi) derived from distinct sources of West African land race germplasm have been confirmed independently to contain high levels of iron and zinc in their grain, qualifying them to be labeled as ‘biofortified’. This has generated much interest from nutritional assistance agencies; seed requests, as well collaboration with nutrition-oriented development programs, are increasing.

Product Line 3 – Sorghum for East Africa

Discussions were initiated with artisans to develop small threshing equipment capable to handle sorghum, finger millet and pearl millet. Threshers will reduce post-harvest drudgery for women. Ten prototypes are currently being tested.

Product Line 4 – Finger millet for East and Southern Africa

Striga-resistant and micronutrient-dense parent lines of finger millet were crossed to farmer-preferred varieties to initiate breeding for these traits.

A finger millet emasculation technique was validated. This will go a long way in enabling breeders effectively make crosses, which has been the main stumbling block in finger millet breeding.

Product Line 5 – Barley for Africa and Asia

In view of the worsening security situation in Syria, ICARDA’s barley team was relocated to Morocco. The move has the advantages of addressing the breeding of drought tolerant germplasm for North Africa (where barley is cultivated on about 4 million hectares).

DrylandCereals assisted Ethiopia in developing its strategy for barley research and development in support of smallholder farmers. Joint barley research-for-development priorities were also established with partners in North Africa, Iran and India.

Advanced breeding lines with higher levels of tolerance to drought and biotic stresses were identified and are being used in the breeding program.

Product Line 6 – Pearl millet for East Africa and South Asia

Physiology research is identifying genetic mechanisms that restrain evaporative water loss at high vapor pressure deficit, which is thought to play a major role in drought adaptation of pearl millet. Using one recombinant inbred line mapping population, major QTLs for 12 component traits for terminal drought tolerance were elucidated and mapped to seven linkage groups.

Major QTLs for grain iron and zinc density were discovered and mapped in bi-parental recombinant inbred line mapping populations.

Product Line 7 – Sorghum for South Asia

High transpiration efficiency variants are ready for use as donors in hybrid populations. Stay-green QTLs increase transpiration efficiency but this depends on the recurrent background.

Proof-of-concept studies confirmed that stay-green QTL introgression leads to increased grain and stover yield without jeopardizing stover quality. A method for Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation of sorghum will be available for routine applications in developing transgenics for the selected traits. Genomic selection models were initiated to capture major and minor-effect QTLs for traits of interest.

Sorghum hybrids with tolerance to charcoal rot have been identified for further evaluation at farmers’ fields. Eight promising actinomycetes were identified with antagonistic potential against the charcoal rot agent, Macrophomina phaseolina.

Genomic regions responsible for plant height and branch length in sorghum were identified (Morris and Ramu et al. PNAS, 2013), as well as QTL for stem borer resistance. Genotyping data for all mapping populations was generated.

C.3 Progress towards the achievement of outcomes

Product Line 1 – Sorghum for West Africa

The set of high quality Farmer-to-Farmer videos on ‘Fighting Striga’ have been made available to farmers, as highlighted earlier. The videos have attracted interest from development agencies across Africa, leading to their translation into 12 additional African languages, including Arabic and Swahili.

Previously tested via Farmer Field Schools, integrated Striga and soil fertility management practices are consistently demonstrating improved profitability, mostly due to increased cowpea hay yields. The limited availability of quality cowpea seed, though is constraining adoption.

Farmer seed cooperatives in Mali are growing in membership. Seed production is expanding beyond cereal crops, and they are acquiring loans and other local support to manage the storage, processing and marketing of their growing stocks of seeds. They are diversifying sale points for seed to increase sales volume.

‘Field School’ type lesson plans combining nutrition, food processing and crop diversity training for women with young children have been developed.

Product Line 2 – Pearl millet for West and East Africa

The recently released pearl millet variety ‘Super SOSAT’ has entered into the seed production and dissemination stage in Nigeria via collaboration with the Lake Chad Research Institute in Maiduguri and the agricultural development programs and NGOs in several states in northern Nigeria. Some of the NGO’s are focused on women’s activities and have engaged in seed production and grain processing.

Led by INRAN-Niger with technical assistance from DrylandCereals, the bio-control of the pearl millet head miner is being widely tested using a locally-prevalent species of parasitoid wasp. Development partners in Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso are investing in training of facilitators and the dissemination of appropriate information materials.

Affordable mini-packs of seed of varieties and hybrids are being sold for wide-scale distribution. Three year’s data from monitoring mini-pack buyers in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger for pearl millet and sorghum has been assembled, providing both qualitative and quantitative feedback.

NARS partners have been trained in screening germplasm for resistance to the most important disease of pearl millet, downy mildew. Plans for establishing the facilities in national programs are under development.

Product Line 3 – Sorghum for East Africa

Proof-of-concept experiments have established that QTLs for Striga resistance are effective in diverse genetic backgrounds.

Pre-basic and basic seed of KARI Matma-1 was produced and 3.2 tons were made available to the three East African countries in which the variety has been released.

Product Line 4 – Finger millet for East and Southern Africa

More than six tons of pre-basic and basic seed of U15 and P224 were made available to NARS in Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda in 2012.

Participatory Variety Selection (PVS) of improved technologies (improved seed, row planting and micro-dosing) resulted in 20-40% increase in yield in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Ethiopia. PVS and demonstrations have resulted in many farmers adopting the improved technologies.

Page 8: CGIAR Research Program on Dryland Cereals

CGIAR Research P rogram on Dryland Cereals – Ju ly -Decemb er 2012 Annual Repor t Page | 7

Integrated Striga management technology combining resistant varieties, fertilizer micro-dosing and trap crops was demonstrated to more than 5,000 farmers in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Ethiopia. The technology increased yields by up to 50%.

Product Line 5 – Barley for Africa and Asia

Seed promotions of released varieties are in progress in DrylandCereals target countries. Significant varietal adoption has been achieved in Ethiopia and India.

Product Line 6 – Pearl millet for East Africa and South Asia

Responding to requests, ICRISAT provided seed of 6,245 pearl millet seed lots to partners (1,304 to the public sector and 4,941 to private sector). On farm demonstration of improved technology (improved seed and use of both N and P fertilizers) resulted in 75% yield increases in the target village clusters in Haryana, Rajasthan and Gujarat.

Crop management technology (improved seed + seed treatment with fungicide + balanced use of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer) was demonstrated on 10,780 farmers’ fields in Rajasthan, Haryana and Gujarat States in India. About 30 trials on weed control using herbicide, and on micronutrient application (ZnSO4) were also carried out. Micronutrient plus herbicide application increased grain yield by 13%.

Product Line 7 – Sorghum for South Asia

Shoot fly-resistant sorghum and high-iron and zinc-containing parental lines have been shared with public and private sector partners.

Training materials were developed on improved production practices, IPM and INM practices to help enhance the awareness of sweet sorghum cultivation and its uses.

Advanced sweet sorghum and high biomass sorghum hybrid parents, varieties and hybrids were provided for use by partners in both public and private sectors. Biomass sorghum materials have been identified for large-scale cultivation in Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra.

Seven cultivars (lines and hybrids) entered the All India Coordinated Sorghum Improvement Project testing program in 2012.

C.4 Progress towards Impact

Major impact of dryland cereals improvement was updated in the ASTI-FARA study commissioned by CGIAR-SPIA on ‘Diffusion of Improved Varieties in Africa’. The 2011 initial report estimated the following improved-variety adoption rates as of 2010: sorghum 14%, pearl millet 17%, and barley 22%. The study considered these rates to be relatively lower than for other cereal crops such as maize (67%). In drawing lessons, the study points out that high-adoption crop/country combinations in maize are supported by hybrid seed systems and well connected to markets.

While noting that the maize industry has been stimulated by large fertilizer, seed and other subsidies in many African countries as well as benefiting from massive global R4D, DrylandCereals concurs with the need to vigorously pursue the strengthening of hybrid seed systems and smallholder-friendly market connections for the dryland cereals as well. DrylandCereals is actively engaged in these areas as highlighted throughout this report and commits to continue to do so in the CGIAR-approved proposal. ICRISAT has been an early and vocal advocate for pro-poor market-oriented development and brings this orientation into DrylandCereals.

However, DrylandCereals also cautions that millions of subsistence farmers in the drylands who lack market orientation and access at present should not be abandoned by the CGIAR. DrylandCereals will continue to also attend to the needs of the poorest of the poor who are mired in subsistence farming, because they are those most in need yet are most overlooked by other suppliers of R4D.

Page 9: CGIAR Research Program on Dryland Cereals

CGIAR Research P rogram on Dryland Cereals – Ju ly -Decemb er 2012 Annual Repor t Page | 8

DrylandCereals’ experiences described in this Annual Report have revealed a number of additional lessons for fostering impact.

Seed systems are a widespread constraint, but this problem can be overcome through innovative technical assistance delivered through close partnerships, e.g. participatory varietal selection and adapting seed delivery to farmers’ means via small packs. Hybrid dryland cereals will have enormous impact in Africa when seed production and dissemination constraints are overcome.

The direct demonstration of innovations to farmers in their fields is an effective way to increase adoption and impact. Demonstrations can achieve large scale by partnering with development agencies such as farmer groups, NGOs and the private sector.

To improve child nutrition, household demonstrations involving women on food processing and crop diversification have proven effective.

Studies of the adoption of micro-dosing illustrate that farmers customize technologies to fit their own situation. Farmers are part of the innovation partnership.

Innovations translate much more rapidly into impact when they are remunerative to the smallholders. Subsidy programs should not favor certain few major cereal crops only, which leads to dietary nutritional imbalance, handicaps the market competitiveness of dryland cereals, and disenfranchises the dryland poor. Subsidies should rather encourage more diverse and nutritious diets.

D. GENDER RESEARCH ACHIEVEMENTS

Women in the drylands tend to be poorer and less empowered than men. Women also play the major role in nurturing the next generation of dryland farmers, particularly in ensuring their health and nutrition in the critical early childhood years. For both of these reasons, DrylandCereals emphasizes womens’ welfare in its choices of priorities and approaches. DrylandCereals analyzes differences in gender roles in the cereals value chain and then designs R4D approaches that especially deliver benefits to women.

DrylandCereals inherits a long tradition of leadership and innovation in the inclusion of women farmers in crop improvement R4D through the approach known as participatory varietal selection (PVS), from its convening centers ICARDA and ICRISAT. This tradition continues unabated within DrylandCereals. PVS is standard operating procedure for all crops. Innovations to disseminate seed of sorghum and pearl millet in very affordable small packs make it much easier for women to purchase and test new varieties.

DrylandCereals also continues to strive to include as many women as possible in all training events. For example, in West Africa the Striga management training initiative took into consideration women and children’s viewing habits and coached development partners to be sure to show the DVD videos in the evening when women are more likely to be able to watch.

As researchers in recent years have broadened their approach to crop improvement to encompass poverty reduction and household nutrition objectives, approaches to increasing women’s participation and benefits are also broadening. For example, since women are the main preparers of food in the household, researchers realize that women are key to achieving the adoption and use of new biofortified (micronutrient-rich) varieties. The nutritional benefits of these varieties are substantial but not visible to the eye, so awareness-raising is required.

In Mali in 2012 in collaboration with the NGO AMEDD and AVRDC, DrylandCereals conducted a series of R4D initiatives with 1,261 women to help improve the production and household preparation of more nutritious foods. On-farm trials run by women in their own fields to demonstrate that high iron and zinc biofortified sorghum varieties are also well adapted to low fertility conditions (women are often allocated the lowest-fertility lands for cultivation). The

Page 10: CGIAR Research Program on Dryland Cereals

CGIAR Research P rogram on Dryland Cereals – Ju ly -Decemb er 2012 Annual Repor t Page | 9

initiative also helped these women find achievable ways to improve soil fertility (p. 30 section 2.6 in ref) such as the use of wood ash, very small doses of fertilizer, and intercropping with groundnut (known as a “women’s crop”). The women have been pleased with the resulting increase in sorghum yields because it provides for the extra meal that children need during the day, and bridges the hungry season.

Women are overburdened with time-consuming and often arduous household tasks, so drudgery-reducing innovations in the cereal value chain can make an important contribution to their welfare. Efforts to introduce milling machines in West Africa are reducing the arduous, time-consuming task of hand-milling. In Eastern Africa, DrylandCereals initiated discussions with artisans to develop smallholder-appropriate equipment that can reduce the hard labor involved in threshing sorghum, finger millet and pearl millet.

D.1 Gender equality targets

In our recently-approved proposal and summarized on our website, DrylandCereals commits to specific gender related objectives and targets under each Product Line, copied here for convenient reference:

Obtaining gender-disaggregated data and gender sensitive analyses on dryland cereal value chains;

Improving the range of genetic variation and the selection protocols used by DrylandCereals breeding activities to develop improved cultivars that can create market opportunities to benefit women, particularly opportunities that lead to empowerment and improved livelihoods;

Increasing “whole plant value” for primary producers, mainly women, of these crops;

Developing crop management interventions from a gender sensitive perspective;

Increasing women farmers access to seed of new dryland cereal varieties; and

Enhancing women’s benefit from new business opportunities, not only from the reduction of drudgery.

D.2 Institutional architecture for gender mainstreaming

Gender sensitivity discussions, monitoring and annual reviews by stakeholders and gender-specific audits are periodically organized to review progress toward mainstreaming pro-women approaches. In addition, DrylandCereals aims for gender-balanced staffing and encourages the participation of female researchers and students in all of its activities and partnerships.

E. PARTNERSHIPS BUILDING ACHIEVEMENTS

The CRP is a global alliance between ICRISAT and ICARDA, and key participants in the CGIAR’s Generation Challenge Program (GCP); the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR); the Iranian Agricultural Research, Education and Extension Organization (AREEO); L’institut de recherché agronomique pour le developpement (IRD) and the Centre de Coopération Internationale en Recherche Agronomique pour le Développement (CIRAD) in France; the USAID-supported dryland cereals Collaborative Research Support Program (currently INTSORMIL); and more than 70 other agricultural research and extension programs in Africa and Asia; 15 advanced research institutes (ARIs); 20 non-governmental organizations (NGOs), civil society organizations (CSOs) and Farmer Organizations; and 30 private sector companies.

F. CAPACITY BUILDING

Regional in-country human capacity development in the CRP on DrylandCereals is integrated across all Product Lines and Strategic Components including provision for degree and non-degree level training, workshops and conferences, and the development of distance learning products. Special

Page 11: CGIAR Research Program on Dryland Cereals

CGIAR Research P rogram on Dryland Cereals – Ju ly -Decemb er 2012 Annual Repor t Page | 10

efforts are made to strengthen and empower extension staff and NGOs at grass-roots level. Training programs reflect a back-to-basics approach to offset current deficits in skilled personnel for conventional breeding, agronomy, crop protection and farming systems. All capacity development activities have due regard to gender balance, recognizing the key role of women along all levels of the crop value-chain.

G. RISK MANAGEMENT

The major risks for the success of the CRP on DrylandCereals include the fact that the CRP is targeting agricultural regions where weather, soils, infrastructure, social strife and policies create a difficult environment for smallholder farmers to succeed. While such conditions make progress and impacts difficult, the partners in the CRP remain committed to achieving success.

Many of the countries where DrylandCereals proposes (and needs) to work are experiencing or have experienced recently social and political volatility. In such countries, DrylandCereals will especially emphasize partnerships and safety nets such as maintaining backup reserves of germplasm, data and even expertise (through partnerships and networks) in the wider region and beyond. These reserves can be of enormous value in helping restore capacities once conflict ends.

Continued government policy bias against the support of smallholder farmers in marginal areas, even in the face of growing evidence of the value and importance of their enterprises, is an important risk. DrylandCereals partners will identify local, regional and even international ‘champions’ who have the ear of key policymakers and who might, over time, be able to influence the course of political decisions impinging on dryland cereal production, processing and marketing.

H. LESSONS LEARNED

Several important lessons learned for increasing DrylandCereals’ impact were provided in section C.4. Overall we are excited about our R4D partnership, achievement and impacts trajectory within this fledgling Program. We do not minimize the challenges ahead in reducing hunger, poverty, malnutrition and environmental degradation in the most difficult agro-ecosystems that the CGIAR faces. But we are on the road to stronger and broader partnerships, more effective cross-sharing of expertise and experiences, and increased impact that will surely result from this new Program.

The first six months of DrylandCereals’ existence should be seen in the context of extraordinary institutional dynamics and uncertainty that prevailed during the last six months of 2012, including delayed Program approval and budgeting which impeded partner institutions’ ability to fully execute Program plans. On top of this of course was the impact of open warfare in countries where major bases of the Program’s work are hosted, resulting in disruption of partner institutions, dislocation of staff and restrictions on in-country travel. We expect that resolutions to these unusual situations, and/or adjustments to those that persist, will substantially reduce their impacts on DrylandCereals’ operations in the coming years.

With this context in mind, DrylandCereals provides estimates of the indicators in Table 1 for the reporting period. These are based primarily on on-going projects where such metrics are available. As DrylandCereals is implemented fully in 2013, it will establish firmer metrics for each of the required indicators. These will provide clearer measures of success for each of the Product Lines.
